Four automated rainout shelters with transparent cover for conducting controlled water research with one sheltered lysimeter station.

Available Equipment

Plant Photophysiology Studies
LumiGrow Pro LED Lights sets are available with adjustable amount of red, blue, and white light to be customized to growing needs. LI-COR spectroradiometer, customized gas exchange chambers, leaf area meter (LI-COR 3100), and other relevant instrumentation can be deployed at the Envirotron in plant photophysiology experimentation.

Plexiglas Chambers Setup for Gases StudiesPlexiglas chambers setup for Ozone or other gases studies in Floricultural Greenhouses is available for use at the Envirotron. Experiment description presented at ASABE Meeting can be downloaded here.

Future Growth

Future Envirotron development will increase the scope of the research that
can be conducted, especially in terms of environmental variables to be controlled
and spatial scale.

In addition, in order to promote research collaboration with scientists from
other locations, we will post Envirotron treatments and data on an FTP or Web
site to make them accessible via the internet.
